The fat lady has not yet sung her final aria in the operatic drama of the day. It is not yet over. Running late this morning, so in brief:
Mueller is a lawyer, and a very careful one at that, so he used his words very carefully. Thus, no saying that there was obtruction of justice - but none exonerating him. The defining legal proof of that is not there for Mueller to say yes, but neither does it give permission for Barr and Rosenstein to make their own conclusion, partiualrly as Mueller had no voice in the summary letter and there was only the letter. The rest of the report must be released. And Mueller did say there was no definitive proof that he was not obstrucing justice. It is in the air, and I bet if the report were to be released as a whole, complete, the proof would be there, enough, just not for Mueller.
If one recalls, Nixon and Clinton both seemed to escape any part in what they were accused of but when further research was done - guess what! In any case, here are words again. No collusion proof with governmental figures. But we do know that there were 'non" governmental Russians involved and they are all named and indicted. There is also the question of stupidity ruled by greed. Why not havethe Russians work with Trump on his proposed hotel? The bottom line looked good on both sides. Can you imagine having the President of the USA in your sweaty palms, particularly if he is so damned greedy that he ignorantly allows himself to be used by his BFF!!!!
Words are important and words are not done here in this whole shebang. Nor has Trump escaped unscathed. Either he knowingly or in ignorance and pushed by greed, allowed himself to be used and neither choice is good. Up for grabs is why were the Russians so hot to trot with Trump and the election? Is it because they knew what he is and how they could take advantage of it? They could change the whole power equation of the world? Neither is the fact that he has surrounded himself with liars and cheats and thieves and idiots and incompetents and what does that say about the man? In my opinion, he and his family were too damned nervous about the investigation and what it might show and well, not done yet. I do not hear the final notes sung by the fat lady.
She certainly is not done in the NY courts and other courts as the invetigations that arose from Mueller were farmed out to them as they were not under his purview at the moment. So, no fat lady song yet. And when the investigatons are over, either we will be totally ruined as a country and democracy, or Trump will go down as the worst president ever, worse than the thieves of Harding, of Grant, of Johnson (Andrew, that is). Not a great legacy and I, for one, cannot wait to wipe the smirks off the faces of Jared and Ivanka, and that chief idiot - Trump.
Not done yet. Not over yet. Much more to follow. What a shame this whole mess is.
